Battlefield 3 thread - Server details in opening post -

My LE version only cost £27, you just get the code and activate in Origin. It did have the small issue of being in Russian but that was a simple fix

£27 from where though?

There's loads of threads on the EA forums detailing how to activate it early. These threads haven't been locked whereas threads asking for things such as releasing it early get locked very quickly. They can't condone it but they realise it's giving them a competitive advantage (how many in this thread alone cancelled their retail pre-order to order from origin?) so absolutely nothing will happen. Someone said they've even confirmed people that activated early won't even get a stat reset.

Cool thanks for that matey and everyone else who chipped in. Can i just ask do i need to manually change my time zone on windows or do i just need to enter the proxy settings? What korean proxy is it anyway just some random one lol.

How does rush look on BF3 anyway? i have always prefered that over conquest

Are loading times much quicker on an SSD? Would have to DL it again to be able to move it as no installer in the cache. Tried a junction but it loaded very fast but with missing textures and strange lighting.

You can just move the game folder to where you want it and then edit the registry for the new location.

Anyone experiencing 25 - 30 second load for each map after browser, my mates seems to be 5 -7 seconds on a loading screen.

On 5850 @ 900
Q6600 @ 3.6
4gb ram and 7200.12 seagate HDDs
11.10 driver cap3

No idea why its taking so long for me.

Just had email saying my game has been despatched so hopefully would be there in time. Excellent. LOL not that it has stopped you guys from activating it beforehand mind

Seems you've changed the default posts per page value.

Just order it as normal and pre-load it. When it comes to the release date check do the above (closing origin beforehand) and revert the proxy settings once it's activated

Great thanks, when is the release date check, do i just change at 99% downloaded or somet ?

The release date check is when you click play for the first time.

Wait for the download to finish, change proxy settings, click play, wait for release check, remove proxy, play, enjoy

Loving this game right now.
Single player - works like a charm, not crashed once.
Multi - Has crashed multiple times
Anyone else getting random crashes? No idea what is causing it to crash

Nope. when it say release date checking (When starting game) DO that proxy

Seems pretty poor but it mainly depends on the graphics card

My spec -
[email protected], 4gb ram, GTX 570 superclocked. All ultra, no AA gets 30-50fps for me in the beta


My order says this -

Delivery 1 of 1
Not yet dispatched

Delivery Estimate: 28 Oct 2011

My Asda pre order came today via DPD, I even had to sign for it.

Already installed and just deciding whether to unlock via the IP trick or wait until Friday.
